May 2017: the best new hotel openings

The location of this new five-star hotel couldn't be any more dramatic – at the apex of Mykonos Hill. A public double-level infinity pool overlooks the Aegean; several rooms have private pools and outdoor hot tubs overlooking the ocean too. A sprawling thalassotherapy spa has five therapeutic pools, a sauna and treatments using mineral-enriched seawater. Butler service comes as standard and horse riding and watersports are to feature in the roster of activities. A Mediterranean fine dining restaurant will also offer more of those smashing sea views.
